Every cottage needs a fireplace...even if it's faux... Right? I think so! I'm searching for just the right fireplace insert for this one. I acquired the little beauty through a friend who generously gave it to me after I asked if I could buy it from her... It's not old but it's my chippy white fav!!! I think I'll give it some of my fav paint ((Blackberry) in fresh egg or home baked bread...a little sanding and some wax.... And it will be even more amazing!!!! Now...any suggestions on an insert would be most appreciated!!!

My favorite time of year....maybe it is because of my birthday, or my grandgirl's birthday...
Maybe it's because I love the nip in the air, the smell of apples and pumpkins...
Maybe it is because I love the deep rich colors of crimson, amber, and tangerine...
Oh, who am I kidding? I LOVE everything about FALL!!!

Most everyone that meets me says I smile a lot...and I think I do. However, the last few months were more tears than smiles on a daily basis...but I am moving past that! I'm smiling more again these days, and getting closer back to me. So I thought I'd start each Monday with a SMILE...listing 5 things around my cottage that makes me grin from ear-to-ear...Actually this first time, I'm going to use the letters that spell out SMILE...so here goes my first SMILE Monday...
